The key to determining the lifetime of OLED device is how much brightness can be maintained. It can be said that there are internal and external causes for the degradation of OLED devices. The most important cause of internal degradation is bonding and degradation in the excited state due to the electrochemical instability of organic materials. The structure of OLED modeled in this paper consists of a cathode layer, electron injection layer (EIL), electron transport layer (ETL), light emission layer, hole transport layer (HTL), hole injection layer (HIL), and anode layer on a glass substrate from top to bottom. It was confirmed that the temperature generated in OLED was distributed around the maximum of 343.15 K centered on the emission layer. It can be seen that the heat distribution generated in the presented OLED structure has an asymmetrically high temperature distribution toward the cathode, which is believed to be because the sizes of the cathode and positive electrode are asymmetric. Therefore, when designing OLED, it is believed that designing the structures of the cathode and anode electrodes as symmetrically as possible can ensure uniform heat distribution, maintain uniform luminance of OLED, and extend the lifetime. The thermal distribution of OLED was analyzed using the finite element method according to Comsol 5.2.

moving photocarrier grating(MPG)기술을 이용하여 디지털 X-선 변환물질 a-Se:As 필름에서 As 첨가효과에 관하여 연구하였다. 이 방법은 시료를 조사하기 위하여 주파수를 변화시킨 2개 레이저 빔의 중첩으로 얻어진 움직이는 간섭패턴을 이용한다. 시료의 수송변수는 시료에서 변조 방향으로 유도되는 grating-속도에 의존하는 전류밀도로부터 얻어진다. As 첨가에 따른 a-Se 필름의 전자와 정공 이동도 그리고 재결합 수명을 구하였다. 전자의 이동도는 결함 상태 때문에 As 첨가에 따라 감소하는 반면, 특히 a-Se 필름에 0.3% As 첨가할 때 정공 이동도와 재결합 수명이 증가하였다. MPG 기술로 얻은 As가 첨가된 a-Se 필름의 수송성질을 a-Se:As로 제작한 X-선 detector의 X-선 감도와 비교하였다. 실험결과 0.3% As가 첨가된 a-Se으로 제작한 X-선detector가 가장 우수한 X-선 감도를 나타내었다.

In this paper, the effect of hot carrier injection on an n-bulk fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) is analyzed. The hot carrier injection method is applied to determine the performance change after injection in two ways, channel hot electron (CHE) and drain avalanche hot carrier (DAHC), which have the greatest effect at room temperature. The optimum condition for CHE injection is V_G=V_D, and the optimal condition for DAHC injection can be indirectly confirmed by measuring the peak value of the substrate current. Deterioration by DAHC injection affects not only hot electrons formed by impact ionization, but also hot holes, which has a greater impact on reliability than CHE. Further, we test the amount of drain voltage that can be withstood, and extracted the lifetime of the device. Under CHE injection conditions, the drain voltage was able to maintain a lifetime of more than 10 years at a maximum of 1.25 V, while DAHC was able to achieve a lifetime exceeding 10 years at a 1.05-V drain voltage, which is 0.2 V lower than that of CHE injection conditions.

We have studied a lifetime in organic light-emitting diodes depending on buffer layer. A transparent electrode of indium-tin-oxide(ITO) was used as an anode. And the cathode for electron injection was LiAl. Phthalocyanine Copper(CuPc), Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (PEDOT:PSS), or poly (9-vinylcarbazole)(PVK) material was used as a buffer layer. A thermal evaporation was performed to make a thickness of 40nm of TPD layer at a rate of $0.5{\sim}1\;{\AA}/s$ at a base pressure of $5{\times}10^{-6}\;torr$. A material of tris(8-hydroxyquinolinate) Aluminum($Alq_3$) was used as an electron transport and emissive layer. A thermal evaporation of $Alq_3$ was done at a deposition rate of $0.7{\sim}0.8[{\AA}/s]$ at a base pressure of $5{\times}10^{-6}\;torr$. By varying the buffer material, hole injection at the interface could be controlled because of the change in work function. Devices with CuPc and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer are superior to the other PVK buffer layer.

Alumina particles wrapped in few-layer graphene sheets were prepared by calcining aluminum nitride powders under a mixed gas flow of carbon monoxide and argon. The graphene sheets were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The few-layer graphene sheets, which wrapped around the alumina particles, did not exhibit any diffraction peaks in the XRD patterns but did show three characteristic bands (D, G, and 2D bands) in the Raman spectra. The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) with the alumina particles wrapped in few-layer graphene sheets exhibited significantly improved overall energy-conversion efficiency, compared to conventional DSSC, due to longer electron lifetime.

In this study, the degradation characteristics of drain output resis-tance was described due to hot electron effects. An semi-empirical model for the degraded drain output resistance was derived from the measured device characteristics. The suggested model was verified from the measured data and the device parameter dependence was also analyzed. The degradation of drain output resistance was increased with stress time and had linear relationship with the degradation of drain current. The device lifetime which was defined by failure criteria of drain output resistance (such as $\Delta$ro/roo=5%) was equivalent to that of failure criteria of drain current (such as $\Delta$ID/ID=5%)

We investigated the effect of lithium 8-hydroxyquinolinolatolithium (Liq) as an electron injection layer on the performance of organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) and optimized the device efficiency by varying thickness of Liq layer. The device with 1nm Liq layer showed significant enhancement of the device performance and device lifetime. We also compared $Znq_2$ and LiBBOX with Liq as an electron injection layer.

Based on uniform hot carrier injection (optically assisted electron injection) across the $Si-SiO_2$ interface into the gate insulator of n-channel IGFETs, the threshold voltage shifts associated with electron injection of $1.25{\times}l0^{16}{\;}e/\textrm{cm}^2 between 0.5 and 7 MV/cm were found to decrease from positive to negative values, indicating both a decrease in trap cross section ($E_{ox}{\geq}1.5 MV/cm$) and the generation of FPC $E_{ox}{\geq}5{\;}MV/cm$). It was also found that FNC and large cross section NETs were generated for $E_{ox}{\geq}5{\;}MV/cm$. Continuous, uniform low-field (1MV/cm) electron injection up to $l0^{19}{\;}e/\textrm{cm}^2 is accompanied by a monatomic increase in threshold voltage. It was found that the data could be modeled more effectively by assuming that most of the threshold voltage shift could be ascribed to generated bulk defects which are generated and filled, or more likely, generated in a charged state. The injection method and conditions used in terms of injection fluence, injection density, and temperature, can have a dramatic impact on what is measured, and may have important implications on accelerated lifetime measurements.

The soft reverse recovery characteristics of P-I-N power diodes by different lifetime killer were compared in this paper. It was concluded that the best local lifetime control at N- base was achieved through the optimization of penetrated depth into the wafer by 5 MeV proton irradiation, resulting in significant soft recovery performance in our study. The results of 5∼12 MeV electron irradiation and platinum diffusion were also discussed here.

Local lifetime control by ion implantation has become an useful tool for production of modern power devices. In this work, punch-through diodes were irradiated with protons for the high speed power diode fabrication. Proton irradiation was executed at the various energy and dose conditions. Characterization of the device was performed by I-V, C-V and Trr measurement. We obtained enhanced reverse recovery time characteristics which was about 45% of original device and about 73% of electron irradiated device. The measurement results showed that proton irradiation was able to effectively reduce minority carrier lifetime.
